Have you noticed? It seems that the fashion world has finally realized that plenty of us are no longer (or never have been) size 2 and that women over 40 still have interest in (and purchasing power for) fashionable clothing. A good example are the changes you now see on fashion runways. Older models are now plainly in sight, and they’re not afraid to speak out about what’s important to aging women when it comes to fashion. Whether it’s expressing individuality or finding comfort in your own skin (and shoes), these models are becoming spokeswomen for embracing aging and being confident and comfortable no matter your age or stage of life. Read some candid insights from older fashion models here and watch a video with the beautiful older women of Iconic Focus Models here. And the beauty industry is also catching the embracing aging wave. For example, British natural cosmetics company Neal’s Yard Remedies has developed a robust marketing campaign and video promoting the “age well revolution,” which you can watch here. And even the hipster fashion and lifestyle website Man Repeller has recognized that older women have a lot of sage wisdom to offer when it comes to fashion- and life. As one older woman proudly proclaimed in a recent Man Repeller post, “ I have the smallest wardrobe you could possibly imagine because I (now) know what I feel comfortable in.” Read more from the wise senior women featured in Man Repeller here.
